v, The Schedule referred to injthese Letters Patent and making part ofthe same.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, DmsMoRn Ansrm, of Sheldon, in the county ofFranklin, and in the State of Vermont, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Combined Lantern and Foot-Stove; and do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, reference being bad to the. accompanying drawings, and to theletters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and generalarrangement of a lantern, which can be used as a foot stove, and also asa nursery-lamp or furnace. r

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains, to majlre and use the same, I will now proceed to describeits construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, whichform a pint of this specification, and in whiclr- Figure 1 is aperspective view, and I Figure 2 is a longitudinal vertical section.

A represents a metal box of suitable shape and. di-

mensions, three sides of which are provided with glass,

and the fourth with a sliding door, B. The sides of the box A areperforated under the glass and door, as

seen in the drawings.

On the'bottom of the box A is placed a lamp, (J,

and upon suitable supports ca, placed in the sides of the box below theupper edge, is laid a top, D, which has a circular hole through itscentre above the flame from thelanip O. ,a Above and resting on the topD, is a raised root, E,

formed of a metal ,plate, the corners-of which-are bent downward, andsecured to the top D, leaving a suitable space between said top and thesides or edges of thetopE.

On top of the .box Ais placed a lid or cover, E,

provided on its upper side with a series of V-shaped projections, 71 I),placed point upward. p H

A lantern thus constructed can, as will bereadily seen, be used as afoot-warmer, and by takingoft' the lid F, it becomes a nursery-lamp orfurnace.

The V-shaped plates 1) b on the top of plate F are used for .resting thei'e'etupon, and prevent injuringi the flat and perforatedintermediatespaces in the cover.

The plate E is provided with a suitable handle, so, that'it may betakenoff-when the device is intended for heating irons, or other articlesplaced on the flat plateD. q

When the lamp is ignited, the heat passing through the opening in plateD, fills the chamber formed be- DINSMQRE AUSTIN.
